I am struggling to do what i want with classes at the moment as they are killed off at the end of a method, can somebody let me know how to make the classes live until i tell them to die? so that i can create one and refer to it from another method at another time? For example On form load i create a class Dog.Then later on i want to get info from the Class Dog. But it is no longer instantiated

How to declare this as a sealed class (non-inheritable) I used this in my main coding..
[Code]...
Here is what I have in my file
Option Strict On
Imports MyNameSpace.MyEnum
Public Class AwesomeClass
[Code].....
But since MyEnum isn't defined in the subclass it won't work. I am not very familiar with what these types of things are called, but I think that I am import a type definition of sorts. Since I am Importing, and not defining, it is only available in the first file. Basically, I want to include MyEnum as part of the class but I don't how to do it. I don't want to copy/paste it over, and I don't really want to write Imports ... at the top of all of my subclasses.
this is an interesting problem and to be honest, I'm not sure there's a solution to it. But thought I'd ask the brain-trust here and see what comes up.I'm developing a dll that is loaded and ran within a third-party application. The third-party company provides an API to use that leverages their application's internal objects so that I can automate our processes. It's really pretty slick. They have a class object that represents the internal structure of their supported documents, appropriately titled Database. I would like to serialize the Database class using the ConfigurationConverterBase (to create a TypeConverter for conversion to and from) in conjunction with custom configuration elements and properties to store this information and retrieve when necessary. I've created the converter and all the necessary code for the custom configuration process. And it all works like a charm with one exception... the Database object does not have the Serializeable attribute applied.
Since I don't have control over the API they developed, I cannot simply add it. And since it is sealed, I cannot inherit it. This leaves me with an ugly option of converting the document to a temporary file that is a text-based version of it, then streaming it into memory before creating a binary format that can be saved into the config file. This is an ugly approach, but will get the job done.
Does anyone know how to work around the original issue for a more streamlined approach?
I've read that making a class sealed in C# is advisable in high-performance scenarios because it frees the compiler to make certain optimizations (e.g., inlining property getters) that it wouldn't be able to make otherwise. Is the same true for NotInheritable in VB.NET?

View 6 Replieshow to declare scope for variables outside their class?
Here's what i have in a class known Create_User:
Public Class Create_User
Public conn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.HotelConnectionString)
Public usercmd As SqlCommand
[Code]....
How can i increase the scope of these variables to be used in another class? I dont want to keep declaring them again and again.
Below is example code of what I want to do:
Public Class Test
Sub New()
Dim cool As New B
cool.Doit()
[code]....
I want to create a new instance of a class when I click on a button, but I need to interact with members of that class using other controls on the form, so I need the class to have a global scope. I know I could call the new class in formload, but the class creates certain variables that need to be current. If it is done on formload, the variables wouldn't be current, because if the class is created at formload, it would have different info at that time. Surely, there must be a way to create an instance of the myClass from within a sub that is accessible from other subs of the same class.

I have a class library in VB.NET that does a NET-envelope for an USB device driver.There is only one function of that driver that I could not envelope in a traditional class, but I had to put it in a Windows Service as described here:Sharing a class property (field) between applications.The Windows Service works fine, but I have now two projects for my NET-envelope: the one with the class library, the second with the windows service and I do not like the idea to maintain two distinct projects for the same driver.Is it a good practice (or even if possible) to add a windows service class to a normal class library (without creating its own project as described in the vb tutorial)?I know, in any case I should create a separate setup only for the windows service, but in this way I could have together all the classes that envelope my usb device driver in only one project.
View 1 RepliesI've createda vb.net class library where I've defined a number of small classes... nothing complicated, just working with strings, sending emails, etc.In another project, I reference the class library and I'm seemingly able to create an instance ofone of tclasses - intellisense shows me all of the plic properties, methods, etc... all looks perfect. No compile errors at all, nothing b gumdropsand lollipops.When I run the app I'm working on that references the class library, it fails at the point where I'm creating an instance of the class and gives me a vague exception, "System.TypeLoadException".

I have two projects, namely:
1. Project1 (Windows Application)
2. Project2 (Class Library)
in Project2 there are several classes:
* frmLogin.vb
* frmCustomer.vb
* clsGlobals.vb
in my case, I want to frmLogin.vb and frmCustomer.vb not called in Project1 and I can only call is clsGlobals.vb
I have made a class using New->Class Library. I have 2 constructors, 1 function (that computes length of circle), one subroutine that computes area of circle, and main subroutine.

My problem is when I try to run the program: No errors of syntax.
What I must do? I need to right click in solution explorer add new item->add->class and copy here this code?
After I write the code I chose from the vb menu: Build->Build Solution_name
Before writing the code I choose File->New->and selected class library then save all to save as a project.
Or class library is only a dll file that runs with a windows forms application. (that is added after i write the code for write library).
there's a lot of dlls i've got one in the Release folder and one in the Debug folder under bin, there seem to be one in the obj folder as well.they all seem to work fine, but which should be the correct one?
View 4 RepliesI have two projects; A and B, where B needs to use some classes that are in project A. Hence, I added B to A's solution, and in B I added a reference to project A.
Is that sensible? Or should I rather put those classes in a class library?
I see that if I further want to open form/program B from a menu option in project A, then A needs a reference to B. Which would not be possible if B already had a reference to A. However if I use the class library for the common classes, then it's ok as B doesn't need the A reference.
Does this sound logical? It would be nice to know what are typical reasons for putting projects in the same solution, and if it's advised to use libraries aggressively to refactor common code between two projects, even if it's just a couple of classes.. Yet I've never made my own library, so a bit unsure on when to use it.
I'm merging two of my projects that can share a lot of the same classes into one solution with two web applications and a shared class library.
I've literally just dumped all the classes into the class library project and as expected I've got a ton of errors to fix. My main problem at the moment is the connection string. Currently I have this (which is obviously not going to work):
''' <summary>
''' Initialise the data access layer by loading the database connection string from the Web.Config file

Can I create my own class library, possibly to be sold commercially, in VB.NET?
View 2 RepliesI'm in the midst of developing a class library DLL for a third party application. On my machine, the developers machine, things are going along smoothly. I can compile/build and my DLL is loaded, and thus works as expected.
I've been copying the contents of the Release directory from C:Solutions...Release to C:ProgramDirectory. I realize now that my DLL is loaded into memory from the Release folder, and not the folder I copied it to.The point being of course, I want to distribute this third-party add-in to my users. And sure enough when I try that, presumably the DLL isn't loaded into memory and thus not available to the user, like it is on my machine.
I tried the first obvious thing and registering the DLL on the user's machine, but that failed."The module "..." was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found." It's apparent I am missing some key step or caveat when it comes to developing this class library.
I have two classes in two files in a class library project, they are:

I`ve made a .NET component in C#. After that, i`ve created a class library in VB.NET and added this C# component and a couple of buttons to the library (creating another component now with buttons). So far, so good.The problem is: when i use this final component (vb.net class library), i want to link all MouseClick Events of its own components (buttons and C# component). In other words, when i add this final class library to my VB solution, it has its own MouseClick event. But when i click inside it doesnt raise the click event unless i do not click in the buttons or in the C# component inside it. I want to raise this event in the application wherever i click (inside or outside its own components).
View 14 RepliesMy objective is to take a .vb class file that is used on multiple local applications/web sites and convert it to a .dll file that would would be deployed to the servers that we use.The code all works, I can build my class library project with Visual Studios 2008 Pro and end up with a DLL.I can then drag and drop the DLL into any application or website and use it successfully What I'm missing is how to compile it correctly so it will do two things;
1. Get it to show up as a .NET component
2. Get it to NOT scream at me when I try to reference it.
I think part of my problem is that I've been looking up assemblies and dll's when maybe I should have been looking at component authoring.No, I don't want to just stick with the drag and drop into local bins. I might as well just copy and paste the original .vb at that point.

View 4 RepliesI was dangerously close to high-jacking another thread, so I thought I should create my own. We make class libraries so we won't duplicate code, but what about settings? I have a large solution that I've created a project in for common material, which includes an app.config. The problem is that a class library isn't an "app" so my functions can't get to the values. How do I get around this?
